Black Asian and Ethnic Minorities

Islamophobia is prevalent in the UK today. It can come in the form of microaggressions to hate crimes, including stereotyping, bullying, verbal comments, discrimination, barriers to employment, inaccessible policies, harmful media portrayal, physical violence and in many other ways. This November, Islamophobia Awareness Month, we’d like to highlight and raise awareness of what our Muslim colleagues are facing on a daily basis and how to empathise, support and ally them so that we can create an inclusive workplace for all.

Racial identities can be complex and varied. People who are from bi-racial/mixed/multi ethnic backgrounds have a unique situation of straddling between two or more racial identities which can be challenging, and depending on the context, can cause a crisis of identity. This webinar aims to highlight the experience of those with more than one racial identity and the nuanced challenges which can be faced.

Being Anti-racist takes courage and action. It is about visibly challenging discrimination and engaging in conversations that will lead to action and change. This webinar will focus on how to move your antiracist efforts from conversation to action. With a focus on the workspace, we will look at what Anti-racism looks, sounds and feels like in practice, and explore actions that organisations and individuals can take to become antiracist.
